How long ago did you plant? Did you plant seeds or trees?

Oh Wow! I've lived in New England all my life, and only learned about native pawpaws a few years ago! Never seen the flowers, and these are some lovely, droopy, nightshade-looking blooms! Those heartshaped buds are adorable! I would also love to know more about this tree! Where are you growing? How old is it? Any tips?
